so this math guy sets up a web site to record 10,000 voices, big deal, there's been research in using voice to diagnose and measure pd remotely for years. billions have likely been spent on voice recognition software by securitty/law enforcement/cia. seems like just an attention getter to me. this is going to take a tremendous amount of $$$$ and research before it might become useful for diagnosis and drug companies/researchers would use it.
and there are companies much farther along in this area. TED imho can be more hype than substance,

i imagine if you add video motion analysis, face recognition, voice recognition, movement measuring, cognitive testing, vital signs, all which could be cheaply captured on a smart phone, that would be far more useful and will likely be what going to materialize rather than just voice. there are likely hundreds of diagnostic/measurement apps on iphones either tied to your healthcare provider directly or for example you can take a picture of a mole, etc and send it to a company to be diagnosed.
